Coming soon to the multiple listing service - Walk Score

I am forever amazed at all the advances in the listing information over the years. The computer has made it that you can stay at home and see everything we are listing in the comfort of your home along with many interior pictures to help you get a feeling for the home. However, if you are ready to seriously pursue buying start looking at the actual properties so you can see the total picture - where are the doors, windows, how does it sit on the lot, what do the surrounding homes look like, do I like the neighborhood? Some pictures on the MLS are very deceiving!
But here is what I really wanted to tell you. A new feature will be added soon called Walk Score. It will give a rating of the walkability of the property to schools, churches, restaurants, towns, transportation and more. It should be a very nice feature that will help in the buying process. Stayed tune-it is not officially launched yet.
